As previously announced, the Student Accessibility Services Office (SAS) will implement a new disability accommodation management system, Accommodate, for students and faculty members beginning with the fall 2023 semester. All student accommodation requests and notifications to faculty members will take place through the new system.

Accommodate is designed specifically for SAS offices that feature portals for students, faculty, and staff members to engage in the management of all accommodation-related information and processes. The system will create an improved and simplified process for efficiently managing the processes of providing support services for students. 

Accommodate will reduce email exchanges and provide access to student information and records at any time.

Students

• Students registered to receive accommodations with SAS will submit a semester request each semester.
• SAS staff members will review and approve semester requests.
• New accommodation requests will be made through the “public form.”
• Students will receive an unofficial copy of their approved accommodations.
• Students will make testing center appointments through Accommodate.

Faculty

• Approved semester requests will generate an email for faculty members to log in to Accommodate and acknowledge receipt of the letter.
• Faculty members can access the Accommodate portal at any time to
  -- view the accommodation notifications and list of students receiving accommodations in their course(s);
  -- upload new exams in their course(s);
  -- provide the date/time/range when students are allowed to take the exam at SAS; and
  -- view completed exams in the portal.
• No more emails!

Please visit the SAS website for tutorials and guidance on the use of Accommodate.

Please email SAS for more information or with questions.
